Determination of Comparison Period Using First Method if New change validation Attribute Is Not Flagged 

Prerequisites

The Toolbox uses this variant if you

  1. Have not flagged the New change validation attribute in the interface format
  2. Have not flagged the Only original periods export option for the export.

It is assumed that the third-party system has received the data from the retroactive accounting periods as well as from the original periods.

Use

The specification of the precedent for the payroll period in change validation has been converted. For compatibility reasons, SAP supports this variant.

Disadvantages

In retroactive accounting for payroll, the preceding payroll periods are defined using the following rules:

Rule 1

For the first retroactive accounting period in payroll, the preceding period is the most recent payroll period in the in-period view that matches the current payroll period in the for-period view. If this payroll period does not exist, then the system does not call up a preceding period for the data comparison.

Rule 2

For the following retroactive accounting periods and the original period for payroll, the system always uses the preceding retroactive accounting periods.

These rules are described in an example.

The payroll periods listed in the table are applicable for an employee.

Sequential no.
